Capacity & Layout
The Estate at Florentine Gardens can host up to 360 guests across its Grand Ballroom and Cocktail Room, giving couples a grand yet intimate setting. The Grand Ballroom, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, features impressive 25-foot-high ceilings, a stately mahogany fireplace, breathtaking 10-foot crystal chandeliers, and a magnificent Juliet balcony, while the four acres of manicured grounds, with their brick pathways, fountains, and stone gazebos, give couples picturesque outdoor settings for the ceremony and photos. When couples reserve the estate, they get the benefit of having the venue entirely to themselves during the event. That layout lets couples exchange vows in the gardens, then celebrate in the opulent ballroom, giving the day a natural flow with a genuine weather plan. That combination of a chandelier-filled Grand Ballroom, four acres of manicured gardens, and full estate exclusivity suits weddings up to 360, keeping the celebration elegant and connected from the ceremony through the last dance in River Vale.
Amenities
The Estate at Florentine Gardens pairs its elegant setting with genuinely luxurious, full-service amenities. The newly renovated couple’s suites include a bridal attendant to see to all wedding-day needs, along with luxurious makeup stations, private restrooms, a flat-screen TV, a SONOS sound system, and beverages and light snacks, so the wedding party is genuinely pampered. Gourmet multi-course meals are provided through the in-house catering, adding edible elegance to the evening, and having the venue entirely to themselves gives couples a private, focused celebration. The Georgian mansion, the 25-foot-ceilinged ballroom with its 10-foot crystal chandeliers and Juliet balcony, and the four acres of manicured gardens give photographers an opulent range of backdrops. For the entertainment, the enclosed Grand Ballroom gives a wedding DJ excellent structure and controlled acoustics to build sound and lighting into, so the reception fills the room and the dance floor stays packed at a luxurious River Vale estate.

The location keeps everything convenient and easy to plan around. Yet the estate’s Georgian mansion, chandelier-filled ballroom, and four acres of manicured gardens give the celebration a luxurious, elegant feel once you arrive.
